Morphues8 vs. Fractora:
What’s the Difference?
During/After
the Procedure
At the conclusion of the procedure, ointment will be applied, and you will be given instructions on post-treatment care. It is very important to protect the skin and use sun screen during the healing process. You will likely have some redness and mild swelling, as well as some crusting that may last for several days. Most patients note complete resolution of skin changes by 3-5 days. Many patients see visible improvement in their skin quality and texture immediately after treatment, however, optimal results will take several weeks to appear. Additionally, most patients require a sequence of 3-6 treatments staged 3-6 weeks apart to obtain the best result. After a complete treatment, you will notice continued improvement for several months. Also, most patients benefit from a once a year maintenance treatment to help maintain the newly produced collagen.

FAQs
-
What is Fractora and Morpheus8?
Both are minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatments that use radiofrequency in combination with microneedling. They differ slightly in how the microneedles enter the skin and how much epidermis is damaged (ablation). Fractora is better suited for skin ablation and textural improvements such as fine lines. Morpheus8 works better for skin tightening, and fat remodeling/contouring. The modalities can be combined safely to obtain best of both technologies.
-
What areas can be treated?
Almost any area of the body can be treated, including the face, neck, body, arms, and thighs. The treatment is safe, even on very thin areas such as the upper and lower eyelids. The most commonly treated areas include the entire face, neck, inner arms, and thighs/knees.

Morpheus8 and Fractora can improve fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, large pores, surgical scars, loose skin, localized fat deposits, and stretchmarks.
